Palitaw

Palitaw

2 cups glutinous rice
3/4 cup water
1/8 cup glutinous rice flour for dusting
2 cups grated coconut (niyog)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/3 cup granulated sugar  

Cooking Instructions:
1  Combine glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl. Keep mixing until mixture turns into a dough. Dust hands and fingers with glutinous rice flour to prevent dough from sticking to hands while shaping it.
2  Take 2 teaspoonfuls of the dough and roll into a ball. Flatten mixture against the palm.
3  In a saucepot, boil 6 cups water. Drop palitaw pieces one at a time into the boiling water, taking extra care that they do not stick to each other in the pot.
4  When a palitaw floats to the surface, remove using a skimmer and transfer to a plate or tray. Cool slightly.
5  Dredge both sides of each palitaw in grated coconut then arrange on a baking sheet. Toast sesame seeds, then pound slightly in a mortar and pestle.
6  Combine toasted seeds with  granulated sugar in a bowl and sprinkle over palitaw.
